Fixer Upper — Family-owned, 4.9★ rated, 15-year warranty
Savannah's pool decks take a beating. The salt air rolling in from the coast, the humidity that makes everything grow faster than you'd expect, and those intense summer storms—they all conspire against traditional grass around your pool. Whether you're in the Historic District with those tight older lots, out in Ardsley Park where the yards are more generous, or down in Isle of Hope where the maritime climate hits hardest, artificial turf around your pool solves a real problem. No more muddy footprints tracked into the house. No more dead patches where chlorine splashes, or bare spots from constant foot traffic. Pool turf gives you that finished, resort-like look without fighting Savannah's sandy loam soil and salt-laden air every single season. If your pool area feels more like a maintenance headache than a place to relax, we can help transform it into something you actually want to spend time in.
Savannah's sandy loam soil drains quickly, which sounds good until you realize it means traditional grass around pools dries out fast and needs constant watering—especially when chlorine and salt are in the mix. Our coastal humidity also means algae and mold love moist soil, making that damp area around your pool's edge a constant battle. Artificial turf eliminates both problems. The material drains perfectly (we build in proper subsurface drainage), stays dry between uses, and won't degrade from chemical exposure the way sod would. Sun exposure varies dramatically depending on your neighborhood: homes near Forsyth Park or in the Historic District often have mature tree cover creating dappled shade, while Southside properties tend to get longer direct exposure. We assess your specific sun pattern because it affects which turf pile height and color we recommend. Most Savannah pools sit in yards ranging from 5,000 to 15,000 square feet, and HOA rules in neighborhoods like Ardsley Park sometimes restrict certain landscape materials—we've navigated those conversations and know what's permitted. Installation here typically requires subsurface drainage stone due to moisture retention in our sandy soil, which we always include.
It can, especially in July and August when temperatures peak. We recommend choosing lighter-colored turf and installing shade elements—a pergola or shade sail—if your property doesn't have tree cover already. Properties near Forsyth Park or under live oaks fare better naturally. For the clearest picture, we assess your specific microclimate and sun hours during a site visit.
Salt air accelerates degradation of lower-quality synthetics, but premium turf materials hold up well if rinsed periodically. We recommend a fresh-water rinse every few months if you're close to the water. Our turf grades are marine-resistant, so they won't break down faster than grass would in Savannah's coastal environment.
Most pool deck installations don't require permits, but it depends on your specific neighborhood and whether changes affect drainage or grading. Historic District properties sometimes have additional review. We handle permit research and coordination as part of our process, so you don't have to navigate that alone.
Quality turf lasts 10-15 years in our climate. Savannah's humidity is actually easier on synthetics than extreme dry heat. Proper drainage (critical with our sandy soil) and occasional rinsing extend lifespan significantly. We stand behind our installations with a warranty that reflects what we know works here.
